Choral groups marked the occasion by singing 10 traditional Christmas carols including "The First Noel," "Silent Night," and "Deck the Halls."

Palomba said the performers have formed a bond between each other, just like athletes on sports teams do.
“It’s incredible to see that happen over time,” Palomba said. “They’ve learned how to trust each other.”
The choir will perform at the township’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the municipal building Dec. 8.
